Formerly in the custody of the Okitsu-miya shrine office. The gilt bronze heart-shaped strap union shaped top over the intersecting part is a decorative metal piece to be attached at the spot where the leather straps that go around a horse’s hindquarters cross. The hanging heart-shaped apricot harness pendant and the leg of the strap union piece are coupled, combining them into one body.
